Goal rates the players on show as a first-half double from
Cristiano Ronaldo ensures los Blancos maintain their 100 per cent record
in the Champions League group stage this season

By Tom Webber

Iker Casillas

The keeper was alert from the off, producing
a good save to deny Marchisio in the opening minutes. He did well to
keep Pogba's initial effort out but was unable to stop Llorente from
slotting home the follow up. He commanded his area well.

4

Pepe

Made a decent block on a Marchisio effort in
the first half but failed to read the play well during the game. He
fell asleep during the second half and was fortunate that Juve did not
sneak a late equaliser.

7

5

Sergio Ramos

Positioned himself brilliantly in the heart
of the defence, frequently getting into the right place to help clear
away the danger when Juve got the ball into the box. He also caused
problems in the opposing area from set-plays.

3

Marcelo

Consistently pushed forward from left-back
and provided a good level of service for the forwards when getting into
dangerous areas. He was caught out of position for Juventus' first goal as Caceres had time to cross from wide.

6

5

Arbeloa

The right-back had a poor game, leaving
Pogba completely unmarked at the back post ahead of Juve's goal. He
allowed the opposition past him far too easily and rarely ventured into
the opposing half.

2

Sami Khedira

Linked the defence to the attack well,
playing the first ball out from the back and then getting up to support
the forwards in the final third. He played a role in the opener and made
a nuisance of himself throughout.

4

Luka Modric

The Croatian played a very simple game and
failed to shine playing in behind the striker. He did not create
anywhere near enough for his side in what was a rather ineffectual outing.

13

3

Ángel Di María

The Argentine was a continual threat on the
right wing, regularly finding space to get at Ogbonna. He supplied a
brilliant assist for Ronaldo's opener but unfortunately his end product
was not always up to that standard.

7

6

Asier Illarramendi

Perhaps showed his inexperience on the
continental stage as he made some rash challenges early on and picked up
a booking. He collected himself, though, and proved efficient in
possession in the holding midfield role.

C. Ronaldo
Top of the Match

A brilliant night for the Portuguese as he
took his tally of goals in the tournament to seven from just three
games. A cool finish was followed up by a powerful penalty as he proved
the difference between the two sides.

16

Karim Benzema

The Frenchman barely had an impact as he
struggled to get involved in the action during throughout. He missed an
absolute sitter during the second half, sending the ball over an open
goal from three yards out.

Gareth Bale

Came on for Benzema in the 67th minute but struggled to make an impact on the match.

Isco

Was lively after replacing Illarramendi in the 72nd minute.

7

6

Morata

Gianluigi Buffon

Went to ground too easily as Ronaldo rounded
him before opening the scoring, but could do little to keep out the
Portuguese's penalty. Other than that he was actually forced to do very
little for the remainder.

Giorgio Chiellini
Flop of the Match

The Italy international was quick to close
the opposition forwards during the early exchanges. However his game
soon turned into a nightmare. His clumsy challenge resulted in Madrid's
penalty and he was then sent off early in the second half.

7

8

Angelo Obinze Ogbonna

Afforded Di Maria far too much space in the
wide areas, and his flank was the source of the opening goal. He could
not cope with the Argentine's pace and had an extremely difficult
evening.

2

1

Andrea Barzagli

Proved hesitant in possession and was almost
caught on the ball a few times by the opposition. He did not seem
completely sure of himself when passing the ball up from the back.

2

1

Martín Cáceres

The Uruguayan made some well-timed
challenges to restrict the influence of Marcelo down Madrid's left. He
also pushed on when possible and his great delivery was pivotal to
Juve's first goal.

4

1

Paul Pogba

Started brightly and his spilled header was
tucked away by Llorente in the 22nd minute. His influence on the game
waned as the game grew, though, and he did not show his usual array of
passing in the centre of the park.

1

2

Claudio Marchisio

Produced a great effort early on which
forced Casillas into a save, but it proved to be the highlight of his
game. He did track back and help his team out defensively, though,
meaning Madrid had to break at speed to find a way through.

5

1

Andrea Pirlo

Allowed Di Maria to skip inside him far too easily as he
set up Ronaldo for the game's opening goal. He played a few good passes
and helped orchestrate some of Juve's better chances before being
withdrawn on the hour mark for fresh legs.

6

1

Arturo Vidal

Was very industrious in midfield and ran
himself into the ground. He was full of energy and his combative
perfomance in the middle of the park made it difficult for Madrid to
settle on the ball and pick Juve apart.

5

3

Carlos Tévez

The Argentine was lively early on, picking
up the ball between the lines and creating space to shoot at goal.
However, he failed to test Casillas with any of those efforts and he
faded into the background after Chiellini's dismissal.

4

1

Fernando Llorente Torres

Had a quiet start to the game but added to
his tally of goals at the Bernabeu after popping up to slot a loose ball
home inside the area. He was perhaps unfortunate to be sacrificed for a
defender after Chiellini's red card.

Substitutions

1

Leonardo Bonucci

Was brought on for Llorente in the 50th
minute following Chiellini's dismissal and helped keep things tight at
the back for the visitors.

1

Kwadwo Asamoah

Replaced Pirlo in the 59th minute and his energy helped keep Juve competitive despite being reduced to 10 men.

Sebastian Giovinco

Came on for Ogbonna in the 69th minute and
got into some dangerous areas but, bar one shot that was going wide
anyway, he never really threatened Casillas. -------------- goal.com
